Join the Explore Ecology Makerspace every Wednesday from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM and Saturday from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM above Art From Scrap. This month, they’re honoring Santa Barbara’s Fiesta with eco-friendly crafts that bring the fiesta’s spirit to life! Perfect for children, these projects use reclaimed materials in colorful and creative ways.
The Fiesta Finds Projects include:
- Maracas – Shake up the celebration with festive maracas made from repurposed containers, beads, and bright decorations.
- Cardboard Castanets – Create your own rhythmic castanets using recycled cardboard and bottle caps for that authentic fiesta sound!
- Ojo de Dios – Weave vibrant yarn patterns onto sticks for a meaningful, traditional craft.
Crafternoons are for kids ages 5 and up and please note, the workshop uses hot glue guns. Adults must remain in the EE Makerspace with their child.
